Auto+Photo same time grow?

Hey Janiking, to help with your original post, i am currently growing an auto and photo, and to be honest it's a pain in the ass.

The auto (00 seeds Chocolate Skunk) was supposedly a 60 day finisher (which would be perfect for me to veg a photo), but is now on day 75 approx...and it still has (imo) at least 2 weeks to run. My photo (Female Seeds Lemon Kush) has now been in veg for 80 days and it's an ugly weird gnarly looking alien plant that won't stop needing attention/watering etc :shock:

Anyway, i switched to 12/12 yesterday, so hoping the auto will bulk up a bit, and the ugly duckling will somehow turn into a swan. Just annoyed that i've used so much electricity...the auto isn't even that big :cuss:

So...obviously it's your choice, it may run smoothly...or it may not!! Good luck whichever way you do it :peace: happy growing.

Wow man thats pretty good .. i tried 12/12 first time as u can see in my sig and i ended up with 14 grams bone dry of a plant that was 20 cm tall .. ill try get a pic the thing was just a bud :D:D:D
i wanna get this going perpetual as i do have a very high tolerance and well i dont like not having some smoke :D i was thinking of making the bottom of my tent into veg chamber , any tips? heres a photo of the setup im running right now ..its a little ghetto but i like it :DView attachment 3344460
You can do a perpetual grow in that tent/cab you have if you only run autos. Just start a new one every 4-6 weeks. If you stagger them right you will always have one in full bloom. You don't have to mess with light schedules and you will have weed coming out of your ass if you're just a personal stash guy. I pulled 150 grams trimmed and dried off the last plant.

yeah see thats what im worried about.. i dunno i think im gonna switch 12 12 anyways cause i have 2 of each genetics left so ill know what they like for next run a bit more i hope :) and ill probably just do single plants or stagger a pheno onto an auto when the auto has about 4 weeks left. That way i have 4 weeks veg ..
Also do u not think id be able to make the bottom part a little veg or mother room?
its bout 50cms tall in there

That was a Barney's Sweet Tooth. Used a BlackStar 270 Chrome and a five gallon smart pot. You'd really have to stagger two Sweet Tooths in a confined space because mine got big and bushy. I did a staggered harvest on that one as well. Chopped all the top ripeness off and decided to let the lower ones go for a while. Worked out great.

Ive got a few pics from today they seem to be liking the added 20watt blue :D The bigger one is the auto jack and the other is cream caramell , but to be honest i might have switched beens to pot by accident cause the auto is ment to be sativa and the cream is 90% indica so i dunno by the look of the leaves i might have smoked too much :D2015-02-04 20.59.46.jpg 2015-02-04 21.00.17.jpg 2015-02-04 21.00.40.jpg Ive got a few pics from today they seem to be liking the added 20watt blue :D

Yeah i tried to reveg my first plant cause the taster i took was awesome but it didnt work out too well :D
It was an auto. I didn't reveg it, I just let the bottoms get a couple weeks of light and they fattened right up. Pretty big window on that one.

Hi guys so i started a grow recently and i am wondering if u people can help me out.
Im gonna give you a bit of info on the grow first
so jack herer auto and a sweet seeds cream caramel photo,
150watt hps with added blue.
proper ventillation
soil grow
grow space 90*60*160

So my question is will my cream get too massive for the space if i let it veg until the auto is finished?
If so about what litre pot would it need?
If the 2 wont fit in there then can i switch to 12/12 and let the autoflower flower with that schedule instead of the recommended 18/6?
If so then what can i expect from the auto jack?
If anyone is interested in the proper setup i have it in my sig just go to the end of the thread to see some pics of my setup and my shitty first attempt ":D
I just finished my 2nd grow, way more successful than first.. Anyway I had 4 autos in with 10photo's started at same time and I switched 12/12 after 5 weeks of veg cuz my photos were getting a lil big, auto's didn't do so well for me atleast not compared to my others.. I did a few things that I wish I hadn't so can't really blame it on the light switch.. Just my .02.. Biggest auto was 31g.. Photos was 3- 4 zips apiece..
